CREATING a sporting miracle is all well and good but how on earth do you deal with the aftershock?It is the question Claudio Ranieri is grappling with as his unlikely champions contemplate a relegation scrap.There have been few sensations in world sporting history to match Leicester City’s title success.Perhaps Buster Douglas, who in 1990 floored the apparently invincible ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.But then Douglas was beaten in his first defence, piled on weight and reached 26st before falling into a diabetic coma.Or Mark Edmondson, the local hospital cleaner who won the Australian Open in 1976 while ranked outside the tennis world’s top 200.He was inspired by his extraordinary success, coming closer than anyone to defeating Bjorn Borg at Wimbledon during the Swede’s run of five straight titles.City are closer to the Buster Douglas scenario right now.The last time they faced Manchester City, they ran riot in a … [Read more...] about Leicester achieved a sporting miracle in winning the Premier League… but have struggled to deal with the aftershock

THIS is the spectacular mansion abandoned by Mike Tyson after his rapid fall from grace.The former professional boxer - who was convicted of rape in 1992 - had no choice but to sell this palatial property as financial ruin loomed, and the imposing Ohio mansion has been sliding into a state of disrepair ever since.The self declared "baddest man on the planet" once called this huge property home, but the former heavyweight champion had no choice but to sell up in 1999, after being dogged by controversy and money woes.And now there are plans to turn the luxurious, if dusty, mansion into a church, with Mike Tyson himself, 48, invited to attend the opening ceremony.These stunning snaps show the mansion's gold-plated fittings, situated behind an imposing gate with Tyson's name emblazoned on it.And the property is still an impressive sight, despite it's run-down state and dilapidated interior, years after the brutal boxer sold it for $1.3m (£870k).The … [Read more...] about Incredible photos show the deserted glamour of Mike Tyson’s abandoned Ohio mansion

GERVONTA DAVIS has been dubbed the mini Mike Tyson – and it’s not hard to see why.“My whole thing is this,” he says. “When I’m in there I have no love for the other opponent, I’m here to kill.“If I can kill you, I would kill you. I don’t wish death upon anyone but this is what I am here to do.”No wonder this short, stocky knockout artist is already drawing comparisons to the one-time Baddest Man on the Planet.Just like the heavyweight icon did back in 1986, super-featherweight Davis has been given a shot at the world title despite being one of the youngest and inexperienced in the top 10.And as fate would have it, the fight, which is the co-feature to James DeGale’s unification against Badou Jack on Saturday, is taking place at the Barclays Center here on Tyson’s old stomping ground - Brooklyn.With all but one of his 16 contests ending in a knockout win, 22-year-old Davis has boxed a total of just 41 rounds during … [Read more...] about Gervonta Davis: Meet the ‘Mini Mike Tyson’ as Baltimore brawler prepares for world title shot against Jose Pedraza
